Wisconsin Boost for Democrat Tammy Baldwin?

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s victory in his recall election Tuesday could have an unlikely beneficiary: Rep. Tammy Baldwin, the Democratic candidate for the state’s open U.S. Senate seat.

Mr. Walker, a Republican, secured his grip on his office with the help of tea party activists and outside money from conservative groups who fought hard to beat back his Democratic challenger. These activists are now expected to throw their weight behind a more conservative – but perhaps less electable – candidate in the GOP primary, undercutting former Gov. Tommy Thompson, the establishment candidate seem as having the best chance to win in November.
